What’s behind India’s space mission to the south pole of the Moon

India’s Chandrayaan-3 space mission to the Moon launched this Friday, for about $75 million, was designed with a cautious vision in its development to anticipate any mistakes, and various improvements in its landing system after the failure of its predecessor.

The mission to land a lander and a rover within 40 days over the Moon’s south pole, a hitherto unexplored region, is a milestone that would join India to the exclusive club of countries that have managed to touch Earth’s satellite: so far only the United States, Russia and China have done so.

India successfully launches its second attempt to reach the unexplored South Pole of the Earth Luna Solar eclipses: these are the last ones seen in Colombia, do you remember them? China wants to put astronauts on the Moon by 2030, this is their plan
